NFL players mourn Tray Walker's passing
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Tray Walker was pronounced dead at 5 p.m. ET Friday, according to his agent, Ron Butler. The 24-year-old was hospitalized in Miami and listed in critical condition after the Honda motorbike he was riding collided with a Ford Escape at an intersection in Liberty City, Florida on Thursday evening.
As you might imagine, there was a strong reaction on social media to the devastating news, as players around the league publicly mourned Walker's passing.
